HANOI, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Navy held a ceremony to announce the decision of forming a DHC-6 seaplane squadron, which is supposed to manage all relevant combat-ready and training activities, local Tien Phong (Pioneer) news website reported on Friday.

At the ceremony held on Thursday in northern Vietnamese city of Hai Phong, Vice Admiral Pham Ngoc Minh, the Navy's chief of staff, said the establishment of the DHC-6 seaplane squadron, along with the EC-225 helicopter squadron, the Navy's first squadron formed on Dec. 25, 2011, are steps to building up the modern regular Navy and fulfilling the task of safeguarding Vietnam's sovereignty over territorial waters and islands.

Viking Air aircraft manufacturer and its subsidiary Pacific Aviation held a graduation ceremony for 8 Vietnamese pilots mastering DHC-6 Twin Otter Series 400, also known as the Guardian 400, in Canada on July 10.

In May 2010, Vietnam's Navy signed with Viking Air a contract on buying six Guardian 400s. According to the Canadian manufacturer, the seaplanes is fully-equipped for transport, maritime patrol and surveillance, resupply, search and rescue purposes.

Of the total, three are specially equipped for maritime patrol and coastal surveillance.

Vietnam isn't the only one sending planes to the South China Sea. The Philippine Navy sends planes to watch on Chinese ship movements.

Also, China has satellites, spying on the sea, under the disguise as geographic sats.

Why is Vietnam trying to take on China alone in SCS. Isn't that suicidal as Vietnamese navy barely can handle China's coast guard. Forget about real naval engagements.

If there is a naval war breaking out now, Vietnamese navy has no chance. They are more of a coast guard navy. A brown water navy.

If you ever dare as much as fire one (Russian made) missile at any Chinese ship, it means the total annihilation of the Vietnamese Navy as we know it. :omghaha:

LOL, Chinese speak loud as ever, but even when We destroyed Khmer-rouge and slap on your face in 1979, and still, here we stand.

We ram on you everyday when you try to sneak in our sea, and what's mighty PRC do until now!?
PRC can only fire on fishing-ship or cut civilian-ship's cable.
This is not 1988, when you bow down to USA and get her help to push VN around with war.

This ain't 1979.

China is years ahead of Vietnam in military tech and tactics. The Vietnam War is over. War is fought with advance technology.

BTW, you're an ironic clown.
